Hello

Here is the final.  I did not have time to get a replacement condesation pan prior to the party so I once again used a brownie pan.

Final picture.

Hello

One last bit of information. Yesterday just prior to the party I was checking out my three machines by completing a test vend on each. Well my e-bay purchase coin changer for this machine went belly-up. So the Bud/Bud lite/Mic ultra machine had to be set for free vending.

I have now taken this machine out of operation & I guess I will have my first chance at a complete repaint. More to follow on the Vendo 56 in Kevin's garage.  

The atttached picture shows all three of my current machines. I think I may have sold one last night.  The third machine is a little hard to see but the Back 2 are Vendo 63's

Hello

So I am getting ready to strip this machine apart & start the body work.  I have two questions.

1. See the attached picture of the main door with the the clips that hold the door gasket in place. How do these clips work? & How do I remove the clips & door gasket? Where can I get a new replacment gasket?

2.  How do I remove the big main door from the body of the machine? The hinges look sealed/capped?  Any ideas?

Kevin as far as the clips go they just pull out like the trim on old cars. Sometimes there are screws in the corners so take those out if they are present and gently use a screwdriver to get under the liner and pop it out. Once the first one is out you can just pop each one out by pulling gently on the liner.

The door is alot easier than it looks Just lift the door up and it comes right off. The caps are just for looks. The door side of the hinge is on top on both sides and it just rests on the bottom part. I was baffled the first time I restored a Vendo 56 on how to get the dooor off so I just took it to the painter with it on and told him to deal with it. WHen I asked him how he got it off he gave me an od look and told me how.

Thanks.  This weekend will be the test.  

What about a replacement door gasket?

Hey Kevin C,

    Just wanted to know what you did to get the upper Evaporator to look so good.  Did you paint it.   What did you do to the galvinized parts to make it look so good?   What paint did you use?  And next did you paint the compressor to get it to look so good.  Man that was a good job.  I want mine to look like that.
Thanks
Patrick
